First Read quotes this article at the Politico:
House Democratic leaders, seeking a compromise with several dozen anti-war lawmakers in their own caucus, are considering a vote on a timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq before taking up $98 billion in new military spending,” The Politico reports. “In return for the vote, the leaders want the 50 to 75 anti-war Democrats to support the wartime funding, if their proposal fails.” A vote on a timetable “would be the first such vote in either the House or the Senate since the Democrats took control of Congress in January.”
It will not make it, but it will be of symbolic importance to quite some Democrats. Will some not so anti-war Democrats feel forced to vote for a timetable?
